Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, and particularly to a stainless steel ice maker evaporator. Background Art
[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that cools water through an evaporator with a refrigerant in a refrigeration system to generate ice. According to different principles of the evaporator and the generation process, the shape of the generated ice is also different. Generally, ice makers are classified into pellet ice machines, flake ice machines, plate ice machines, tube ice machines, shell ice machines, etc. according to the shape of the ice. Among them, flowing water oblong ice is the most popular and widely used in the market.
[0003] As an important component in an ice maker, the principle of the evaporator is to use high-pressure refrigerant liquid to evaporate in the evaporation tube through a throttling device, and the gasification absorbs heat to achieve the refrigeration effect. The evaporation tube conducts the cold quantity to the ice template in the ice maker, so that the water flowing into the ice template freezes into ice cubes, and then it can be used.
[0004] The existing ice makers for making square ice still have the following problems:
[0005] The main structures of existing ice maker evaporators are all copper parts, which have high manufacturing costs. Moreover, the copper parts need to be electroplated with metals such as nickel. After long-term use, the electroplated layer is prone to peeling off, and this electroplating method is difficult to pass food safety inspections;
[0006] The evaporation tubes are all coiled at the bottom of the chassis of the ice template, that is, relative to the ice grid, they are located on the back of the chassis. Heat is indirectly transferred to the ice grid through the chassis. In order to ensure that the evaporation tubes can reliably cool the ice template, it is necessary to ensure the tightness between the evaporation tubes and the ice template during manufacturing and assembly. In the prior art, the manufacturing process at this place is as follows: The parts that need to be welded between the evaporation tubes and the ice template are coated with soldering paste, and then the copper tubes and the ice template are clamped with a fixture and placed in a heating furnace for heating. After heating for a certain time at a specified temperature, it is taken out, cooled, and then cleaned with a reagent.
[0007] Adopting this kind of welding and assembly process, although it can ensure the tight connection between the ice template and the evaporation tubes, it has the defects of complex process and high process requirements.
[0008] To solve the problems of using copper parts, complex process, high cost, and possible difficulty in passing food safety inspections, there is a new type of ice maker aluminum evaporator ice tray with the publication number CN208735984U. Copper tubes are installed in the copper tube grooves. The ice tray is made of aluminum, which is more environmentally friendly and convenient for recycling defective products, and the manufacturing process is faster and simpler. However, the refrigerant flow pipeline and the ice tray are made of different materials respectively, and the refrigerant flow pipeline still uses copper products, so there is still a problem of complex welding and assembly process and high cost to a certain extent.
[0009] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a stainless steel ice maker evaporator to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the invention

Each partition sheet includes card slots having the same number as the number of ice-making side faces of multiple groups of the stainless steel pipes, dividing the partition sheet into multiple cards. The card slots are clamped on the ice-making side face and its adjacent face.

Partition strips are arranged at the upper and lower ends of multiple groups of stainless steel pipes of the stainless steel ice-making machine evaporator to close the short notches 8 at the ends and assist in forming a complete ice tray structure.

The waist surface 161 of the isosceles trapezoidal pipe is connected face to face with the waist surface 171 of the isosceles triangular pipe. The lower bottom surface 162 of the isosceles trapezoidal pipe is coplanar with the bottom surface 172 of the isosceles triangular pipe. The upper pointed part 173 of the isosceles triangular pipe protrudes from the upper bottom surface 163 of the isosceles trapezoidal pipe, forming a combined structure. The combined structure includes the outermost third outer side surface 13 (the non-connected waist surface of the isosceles trapezoidal pipe), the corresponding fourth outer side surface 14 (the non-connected waist surface of the isosceles triangular pipe), and the intermediate connecting surface 15 (the connecting waist surface of the isosceles triangular pipe and the connecting waist surface of the isosceles trapezoidal pipe) located between the third outer side surface 13 and the fourth outer side surface 14. Short notches 8 are alternately arranged left and right on the third outer side surface 13, the intermediate connecting surface 15, and the fourth outer side surface 14 in sequence. The upper edge height of the short notch 8 is not higher than the height of the upper bottom surface 163 of the isosceles trapezoidal pipe. Left and right end caps are arranged at both ends of the stainless steel pipe. The left and right end caps are hermetically connected to the end surfaces of the stainless steel pipe except for the short notches, so that the cavity 7 forms an S-shaped channel 18 passing through the isosceles trapezoidal pipe 16 and the isosceles triangular pipe 17 in sequence, which is used to introduce refrigerant for multi-directional direct heat conduction to the bottom surface 2 and the ice-making side surface 3. Partition strips are arranged at the upper and lower ends of multiple groups of stainless steel pipes of the stainless steel ice maker evaporator to close the short notches 8 at the ends and assist in forming a complete ice tray structure. The two ends of the internal closed space of multiple groups of stainless steel pipes are connected to the refrigerant inlet and outlet pipes 19. Multiple parallel arranged longitudinal partition plates 10 are arranged on the upper part. There is only direct heat conduction of the stainless steel plate surface between the refrigerant and the ice-making surface, with more sufficient contact, high heat conduction utilization rate, and the heat conduction efficiency meeting the industrial requirements of the ice-making efficiency.
[0071] Fifth Embodiment
[0072] Please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , based on the evaporator provided by the first embodiment of the present application, the fifth embodiment of the present application proposes another evaporator.

[0074] When the partition sheet 10 is clamped on the ice tray, the hook strips 20 on both sides play a role in locking and fixing the position of the ice tray. Each group of hooks 201 is inserted into the second card slots 211, and the second card slots 211 limit the hooks 201 to lock the position of the partition sheet 10 and control and stably fix the size and shape of the ice cubes uniformly.
